The next item on the agenda is to create
an economic self-sufficiency project that will provide employment for women
and generate money to keep the center open. Suzy comes to the planning
meeting late, smelling a little like a barn. As she takes off a huge
pair of overalls she complains, "darn it! I'm so tired of not being
able to buy overalls for women! Who do these city boys think does the chores
out here!" "Eureka!" yells Jane.
Millie raises a cloud of dust as she hurriedly
responds to a crisis call on County Road MM by the Arickaree Creek Bed
where it intersects with the Old Pleasant Meadow School House. She's trying
to get there before Sheriff Zwirley Dern so he won't arrest the victim
as well as the batterer. Sheriff Dern's response to the new Probable
Cause Arrest Policy, as quoted in the weekly High Plains Ramblin'
Man was, "I'll prob'ly jus' arrest 'em both and let the judge
sort it out."
